So, it's the middle of the winter and you just found your car with a broken window-what on earth do you do? You can't just leave it like that-it's cold outside! But auto window repair is so expensive....can you do it yourself?
Actually, yes, you can do it yourself, and it doesn't have to be that hard. Many people will take their cars to a body shop if this happens, simply because they think that they cannot fix it. Well, as long as you're a little bit handy, and not afraid of taking things apart (don't worry, you'll have a guide to put it back together!), then you can definitely try auto window repair yourself.
All it takes is some tools which you can find easily laying around your house- screwdrivers, masking tape, a painter's cloth, etc. And some determination. This can be scary, but you can do it. There are only a couple things that can go wrong.
One thing that can go wrong with an auto window repair is that you break more glass and cut yourself. This can easily be prevented. Make sure to work over an area which is not very hard (so, don't work over your garage's concrete floor) and wear thick leather gloves.
Another thing that can go wrong is that you break the new window. I've done this-not fun. You just spent money on that and that is what you break! Be very careful with the new window. It may be made out of auto glass, but it is still glass! Once again, be sure to work over a softer surface. Put the glass down as carefully as possible.
